The Struggle of Mid-Way (through the semster) Yup, that's right, I'm already halfway done with my semester here at the Y in Utah. I'm already done with my first French class (101) and now I'm on to the harder second half, but I think I'm doing pretty good still, and I cross my fingers that I got an A for 101. Halfway also means I just went through mid-term exams. I did really well on my dance mid-term, but i ran out of time on my religion mid-term and so I lost 7 points on my last essay because I didn't have time to polish or detail my ideas. I still got a 91%, but if only I'd read the directions to the first essay right the first time I wouldn't have had to go back and fix it and take time I would've used on my last essay.... oh well... Live and Learn.
Outside of school I'm having a good time with church activities and callings. I am actually a Sunday School teacher during the second block. I only teach twice a month, but back-to-back weeks so that all the teachers can attend on the week they don't teach... if that makes sense. I also got a new job. A day of blisters and mowing lawns for 4 hours taught me that I was not made for grounds work. I now work at the BYU bookstore. I get to open boxes full of new books and see them before anyone else, and then put sticker after sticker after sticker on them... it's a little tedious, but I work early in the morning, so I'm not that awake and don't really get bored at all for the first 3 hours.
I also got to go on a date a few weeks ago. I went ice-skating with a friend from my ward, and then we got Chinese food. It was really fun, since it had been a long time since I last went ice-skating. My engaged roommate gave me a ton of flack about it, and finally I had to tell her “enough already!” and now she doesn't bug me... as much... anymore. Actually she's really cute and just a little too ditzy, even though she is going to be a nurse and is taking really hard science classes right now. Why do girls do that? I never understand... Love and Hugs and Best wishes, Rachel
